Fenders are often utilized on mobile machines that are capable of being propelled over a surface and are generally disposed proximate the wheels of the machine to deflect rocks, snow or other materials from being kicked up from the surface by the wheels. If the fender is proximate the wheels, it may be configured to also accommodate vertical motion of the wheel with respect to the frame of the machine due to the suspension system. In addition, in some machines like motor graders where the front wheels are steering wheels adapted to turn with respect to the frame to change the direction of travel, the fenders may be configured to turn with the wheels. An example of fenders designed to accommodate relative motion of the wheels with respect to the frame is disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 5,839,743 (“the '743 patent”). The '743 patent describes, in part, a fender for the steering wheels of a machine such as a motor grader that may be connected to the frame by a mounting bracket. The mounting bracket includes a plurality of straps fastened to the back of the fender that connect to a particular location on the frame that moves with the wheels when displaced by the suspension system or steering system of the motor grader. It will be appreciated that relative motion of the fender in the various directions described herein may result in cyclic vibrations being imparted to the fender and its mounting system. The present disclosure is directed to a mounting system for mounting the fender to a machine that is designed to accommodate such vibrations and forces.
